Re: [merged] Price increase

Not interested in being involved in this argument but just to point out 1Mbit users in no way subsidise other packages, quite the opposite in fact they are the least profitable of the tiers.

The argument that they subsidise the other tiers is based on all 1Mbit users sticking to 30GB a month - the vast majority don't, some pull 250GB or more. Add that to the extra congestion caused on the upstream path from the 1Mbit users with 256k uploads and it soon becomes clear that they are the least profitable tier, they pay the lowest rate per kbit of the tiers both now and in the future after the price increases etc while downloading markedly more than the other tiers.

Well not really, just giving you the facts to be honest, whether you want to believe me and anyone else who tells you this or not is entirely up to you, but the above are the incontrovertible facts.
